It sounds to me like another attempt to get around recipients needing an
operational requirement to obtain resources. In other words, yet another
attempt to privatize public resources and charge people for access without
providing any sort of services to justify those charges.
If the proposers of this policy change have such a service in mind that they
feel or have been told by ARIN is not a permitted justification under current
policy, they should explicitly spell it out in the reasons for the policy
proposal so it can be debated and the community can decide if it is a worthwhile
service and what changes to the rules would be needed to permit it without
allowing anyone to claim the entire Internet as their private property.

John -
Can you provide a brief explanation of why you believe this potential
change to policy is not desirable?
(I have no particular view either way, but having some explanation of
support / opposition viewpoints aids others in their consideration of the
merits/concerns with potential policy changes…)
Thanks!

Draft Policy ARIN-2021-6: Permit IPv4 Leased Addresses for Purposes of
Determining Utilization for Future Allocations
Problem Statement: Current ARIN policy prevents the use of leased-out addresses
as evidence of utilization.
Policy statement:
Section 1.2 Conservation
Replace
“Due to the requirement for uniqueness, Internet number resources of each type
are drawn from a common number space. Conservation of these common number
spaces requires that Internet number resources be efficiently distributed to
those organizations who have a technical need for them in support of
operational networks.”
with
“Due to the requirement for uniqueness, Internet number resources of each type are
drawn from a common number space. Conservation of these common number spaces
requires that free-pool (ASN & IPv6) and IPv4 wait-list Internet number
resources be efficiently distributed to those organizations who have a technical
need for them in support of operational networks.”
Section 1.4 Stewardship
Replace
“The fundamental purpose of Internet number stewardship is to distribute unique
number resources to entities building and operating networks thereby
facilitating the growth and sustainability of the Internet for the benefit of
all.”
with
“The fundamental purpose of Internet number stewardship is to distribute unique
number resources to facilitate the growth and sustainability of the Internet
for the benefit of all.”
Section 2.4
Replace
“2.4. Local Internet Registry (LIR) A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR
that primarily assigns address space to the users of the network services that
it provides. LIRs are generally Internet Service Providers (ISPs), whose
customers are primarily end users and possibly other ISPs.”

“2.4. Local Internet Registry (LIR) A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR
that primarily assigns address space to users of the network. LIRs are
generally Internet Service Providers (ISPs), whose customers are primarily end
users and possibly other ISPs.”
Section 4.18
Replace
“ARIN will only issue future IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding 4.4 and
4.10 space) from the ARIN Waitlist.”
with
“ARIN will only issue future IPv4 assignments/allocations (excluding 4.4 and
4.10 space) from the ARIN Waitlist to those with operational need.”
Delete Section 8.5.2 Operational Use
Timetable for implementation: Immediate.
